This was a very nice recipe. I made the recipe exactly as directed with only 2 exceptions. I used frozen, medium heat, New Mexican green chiles, and green chile powder in place of the red. The flavor was wonderful, and had a nice heat kick. This will be a nice, healthy recipe to keep. Thanks for sharing your recipe RPLS!!

I am a land surveyor by day, web designer by night. I like to spend time with my family, repair computers and go bowling. My favorite cookbook is one my Mom gave me that she bought new in the 60's: Betty Crocker binder-style with the orange cover. No shortcuts going on in that book!
